LifeStorage, Chicago self storage provider for home and business, records management and office solutions, currently holds auctions bi-monthly at its 17 Chicagoland locations, but starting January of 2012, auctions will take place every month. LifeStorage is also experimenting with online unit auctions. Currently, three LifeStorage locations have units online up for bid. For LifeStorage, it’s a new way to auction that can potentially reach a much larger audience of bidders.
“We’re trying to see what the market is like for online bidding. It’s a different way of doing things and we’re researching it to see how effective it is. For bidders, there are pros and cons. Not having to leave your desk is definitely a plus, but you don’t quite get the same experience as you do in person. You can’t tell as much about the contents of a unit from a computer,” said Matt Clark, Vice President of Operations for LifeStorage, and a 12-year veteran of the storage industry and auction process.
The auction is the worst-case scenario of renting a storage unit, but also one of the more intriguing aspects of running a storage company. If a tenant is 30 days late on their rent, a lien is placed on the storage space and payment is demanded. LifeStorage tries to give its customers every opportunity to make payment, so while the process starts within the first month after a renter becomes delinquent, units aren’t auctioned until a renter is at least two months late.
“We notify them via mail, phone, attempt to contact them by email if provided, and also post an advertisement of the auction in a local newspaper twice before the auction is held. We make regular phone calls until the moment a unit is sold. At LifeStorage, we do everything within our ability to contact our customers to try and work out a payment plan before we sell their items at auction. It’s only a last resort that we hold public auctions to reclaim a rental space. We also do everything within our power to have personal items returned, like photos, birth certificates, wedding albums, anything of a very personal nature, we try very hard to convince the buyers to return those possessions, and no other company does that. We have a heart,” Clark said.
Storage auctions have become something of a fad of late, with multiple television shows covering the subject. The auction process is fairly straightforward. Illinois has very stringent guidelines that LifeStorage follows regarding restrictions, notifications and advertisements that need to be placed before an auction is held. Once on site, the rules are announced to bidders, who are then allowed to view a unit’s contents for about five minutes without actually entering the space. Then the live bidding takes place and the unit is sold to the highest bidder.
“It surprises me, even after twelve years, what some of the regulars can see. Jewelry boxes hidden in the back, boxes of brand new merchandise, antiques the people that are experts at this have a source to resell all of the stuff they find. They have a system and it’s really impressive how they can make a living at this,” Clark said.

Self Storage in Mokena, IL to Hold Their First Event: The Community Garage Sale
Self Storage Mokena
Mokena, IL (PRWEB) October 13, 2011
LifeStorage, chicago self storage provider for home and business, records management and office solutions, is holding a Garage Sale event and Move-In Special at the Mokena location on October 14th and 15th from 10 am to 2 pm. The Garage Sale was requested by current Mokena customers after noticing similar events at many of the 17 Chicagoland LifeStorage locations. Store Managers Kelly Butt and Corey Tolbert were happy to oblige their existing customers and hope the addition of the Move-In Special will create new business.
“Many of our customers have an overflow of items and were looking to do a little fall cleaning. After they read LifeStorage blog and saw some of our sister locations holding garage sales, we received multiple requests to hold our own. We have such supportive customers, we were happy to. It’s a chance for renters to sell any items they don’t want or need anymore and for shoppers to find some good deals,” said Kelly Butt, LifeStorage Mokena Store Manager.
The Move-In Special is a two-day only event coinciding with the Garage Sale, where 10×10 climate-controlled units are available at a flat rate of $ 22 for the month of October. The following month is rent-free, and come December, the rental fees return to normal. For new customers, it’s the perfect time for last-minute storage for the coming winter, or one less excuse to put off cleaning out the basement and garage.
“The Move-In Special is our way of introducing LifeStorage’s affordable, top-of-the-line storage solutions to a new audience. The price is pretty hard to beat, and all of us at LifeStorage Mokena feel it will be a success,” Tolbert said.
For LifeStorage-Mokena, this is its inaugural event since become a LifeStorage in April of this year. If the Garage Sale event is as successful as planned, it could become an annual occurrence, something that Butt is excited about.
“We are happy to try new things and events that build community awareness for our location. The Garage Sale is the first of hopefully many events we’ll hold, and the Move-In Special is the perfect initiation for new customers. With the customers’ support , we’re working together to make the Mokena location the best it can be!”
